define-a-lash by maybelline
£7.49 from Boots

"separated, sensuously long lashes, no clumps"

does what it says on the tin

v bendy wand - great for my weedy lashes but maybe not for all you batforlashes types who want to "layer"

marvellous for contact lens wearers like me who worry about fibres straying

bundle · 28/02/2008 16:29

cod - pick mine as the "natural" look

Slouchy · 28/02/2008 16:30

Ooh god, dunno...
Prob OK in fridge, but I don't know for sure.

Helpful, aren't I?

i also like the Boots natural collection which a PP recommended

current fave is get bent from benefit

the angle of the wand gives brilliant coverage and really lengthens well. Not the best thickener (that is Max Factor 2000 calorie IMO)

no fibres so doesn't irritate my eyes

stays put all day and easy to remove

IIRC it is £16.99

doesn't dry out too quickly

used to love YSL volume effect but dried out and went cloggy v quickly IME

PrincessPeaHead · 28/02/2008 17:31

lancome definicils about £14

no question

bundle · 28/02/2008 21:47

tried definicils, was a bit watery and bitty after only short time.

southeastastra · 28/02/2008 21:48

the maybelline one - green and pink

givemehope · 28/02/2008 21:53

I second that for maybelline. I have contact lenses but have used it for years with no prob (think it's called 'greatlash'. The container is green and pink not the mascara!
Beware the waterproof version though - it's not waterproof and runs all down your face then won't come off.

AdamAnt · 28/02/2008 21:58

L'Oreal Voluminous or Max Factor 2000 Calorie

Both about £6

I like slutty lashes and these are really the only ones that do the job.

kikid · 28/02/2008 22:06

Aldi have one for about £3 or £4 & its fab, they also do remover cheap but its good, not unlike the simple remover.

FriedGreenTomatoes · 01/03/2008 10:37

For cheaper mascaras, Bourjois are always excellent. They are the Chanel diffusion line, so v. similar to the more expensive Chanel mascaras.

janeite · 01/03/2008 16:09

I like Clinique "Long And Pretty" in brown as it's really subtle (I hate it when you can tell that somebody is wearing mascara). It's about £12 I think.

OoTaLcYoO · 01/03/2008 16:22

Loreal lash architect carbon gloss.

About £8 ish
Adamant would love it...but it's a nightmare to get off

AdamAnt · 01/03/2008 20:15

Talcy - would it come off with face wash and water? Or does it require something stronger...Swarfega perhaps?

Seriously, does it make you more lashy than 2000 Calorie or Voluminous? Bear in mind that the desired look is 'hoooarr'. If so, I'll get it.

Ledodgy · 01/03/2008 20:17

I use blinc mascara and find it fab. It forms tubes around each lash and comes off easily with cotton wool and water it's weird as it comes of in little tubes that look like eyelashes!

Ledodgy · 01/03/2008 20:17

blinc

EiWishFor3MoreWishes · 01/03/2008 20:19

i LOVE max factor 2000 calorie it is the BEST mascara i have ever bought
xx ei xx

Maidamess · 01/03/2008 20:21

MAYBELLINE UNSTOPPABLE. I repeat, MAYBELLINE UNSTOPPABLE.
hey presto
Its about £6.99, and it rocks.

brimfull · 01/03/2008 20:22

dior show mascara
£18.50 but fab

expatinscotland · 01/03/2008 20:22

I'm currently liking Make Up by Barbara Daly in Tesco. A fiver or so for the mascara.

OoTaLcYoO · 01/03/2008 20:23

...i have the 2000 one also...adamant,
the loreal carbon one hits the mark for heavyeyemakeup factor...and really doesn't come off. It's got a good brush too.

stoppinattwo · 01/03/2008 20:23

I dont bother with mascara, just get my eyelashes tinted

DualCycloneCod · 03/03/2008 14:08
